Fairport Convention - Suzanne

^F#Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river ^AbmYou can hear the boats go by ^AbmYou can spend the night forever ^F#And you know that she's half crazy ^F#But that's why you want to be there ^A#And she feeds you tea and oranges ^BThat come all the way from China ^F#And just when you want to tell her ^F#That you have no love to give her ^AbmThen she gets you on her wavelength ^AbmAnd she lets the river answer ^F#That you've always been her lover ^A#And you want to travel with her ^BAnd you want to travel blind ^F#And you think that maybe you'll trust her F^Abmor she's touched your perfect body wi^F#mth her mind.

^F#And Jesus was a sailor ^F#When He walked upon the water ^AbAnd He spent a long time watching ^AbmFrom His lonely wooden tower ^F#And when He knew for certain ^F#Only drowning men could see Him ^A#He said "All men shall be sailors then ^BUntil the sea shall free them" ^F#But He Himself was broken ^F#Long before the sky would open ^AbForsaken, almost human ^AbHe sank beneath your wisdom^F# like a stone ^A#And you want to travel with Him ^BAnd you want to travel blind ^F#And you think maybe you'll trust Him ^AbFor He's touched your perfect body with Hi^F#s mind.

^F#Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river ^AbYou can hear the boats go by ^AbYou can spend the night forever ^F#And the sun pours down like honey ^F#On our lady of the harbour ^A#And she shows you where to look Amid t^Bhe garbage and the flowers ^F#There are heroes in the seaweed ^F#There are children in the morning ^AbmAnd they're leaning out for love ^AbmAnd they will lean that way forever ^F#While Suzanne holds the mirror

^A#And you want to travel with her ^BAnd you want to travel blind ^F#And you think maybe you'll trust her F^Abmor you've touched her perfect body with yo^F#ur mind
